Another brilliant addition to the Little People series. I was so so happy to see Greta had made the series. A wonderful and inspiring little book. I hope it encourages people to be kinder to the environment and to go and learn more about Greta and her noble work. Thank you for letting me read an advanced copy.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This one here is about Greta Thunberg, a young girl who has already done so much to fight against climate change. She's accomplished a lot for her age and I'm sure that she will not stop asking for a better future for the next generations. She's definitely a great example for children and this book is also the perfect opportunity to make children aware of climate change and its risks.

By far the youngest and most recently active person to be in this series, Greta Thunberg gets the non-fiction, biographical treatment. And I suppose it's a welcome volume – it doesn't really mention the fact she's changed oh so little as regards policy, but the small acts it shows her thinking of doing and then doing will all have helped the environment a little. And, of course, there is always a possibility that this book will still be on the shelves when she does get to change things, and therefore make it out of date. I think the text is a little bit hectoring to begin with – it's more about the environment than the girl, but then they are so intertwined, that might be excusable. No, the artwork isn't great, but that's par for the course with this series. However, as far as this whole franchise is designed to give inspiring example, there is little more inspiring than a living person, someone that's a near-contemporary to the target reader. So as long as they don't take this as an excuse to doss off school every Friday, then it'll have been a success.

***Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
I am so happy that this series chronicles important people in our time and not just historical figures. I think it is important for kids especially to learn about current events.
